I did a search and didnt come up with much, just FS ads.. I'm wondering if it would be safe to use a brake cleaner, or wd40 etc.. to clean a vtec solenoid up?

It has some rust, and minor corrosion (dirt) and considering it still works fine I thought a clean up would do it some good...

any input? Im iffy about puttting flammable chemicals in this area so I thought id chime in to see if anyone has done it yet.

 

No takers?

 

you should be good. If you plan to take it off and clean it, I would also replace the screen.

 

wat is the benefit of cleaning it?? where would u get the screen??

 

no real benefit to cleaning it just a bling effect I suppose. the screen you can get from honda, it is a screen and gasket combo here is the acura item discription and part number.

FILTER ASSY., SPOOL VALVE 15825-P08-005

 

cool right on guys. Thanks. Ill try it with it still in place and see how well I can get to it, if not I'll take it off to do it.
